Reed Switch RMS
Reed switches are mechanical switches that react to the presence of magnetic fields (magnets). They are frequently used as
a low-cost alternative to electronic magnetic switches (MMS).
Field of Application
Used for monitoring gripping and rotary modules, as well as
linear modules, and robot accessories. SCHUNK reed switches
detect the presence of metal without contact and wear, and
are not susceptible to dust, and moisture. Magnetic switches
are installed in slots, and thus do not produce any additional
interfering contours. Note that not all SCHUNK products that
have a sensor slot can be monitored with low-priced RMS
reed switches. For connection with a digital input module
(utilization categorie DC-12).
Advantages – Your benefit
Attractive in price for cost-effective applications
Installation into the sensor groove for space-saving, easy
and fast assembly
Version with connector for fast and easy exchangeability of
the extension cable
Very flexible cable in PUR-version for a long service lifetime
and resistance against many chemicals
Options and special Information
Sources of interference Sensors can be influenced by other magnetic fields in the immediate vicinity. Disturbing magnetic
fields can be generated by motors, electric welders, permanent magnets or magnetized material (so-called soft magnets)
such as allen keys, metal chips, etc.
